    This game is simply amazing. The visuals are top-notch, and the feeling of soaring through the sky with the entire world at my disposal to fly to - this is an unparalleled experience. While it requires very high powerful hardware for the best possible experience, it is undeniably worth it.

    Más allá de unas pocas horas de diversión que te puede dar, no esperes gran cosa después si no eres un apasionado de la aviación o quieres practicar antes de llevar a gente real en tu avión de Ryanair...

    Yes the default aircraft don't have fully working systems if you dig down into the flight controls (some are INOP) but as always Third Party Devs will resolve this. Its power hungry and requires quite a power house to run to get the best experience, but even on Medium settings you could still enjoy many of the features and visuals on offer.

    Hopefully some of the niggles get ironed out in patches, but it can only get better and its going to be one hell of a ride!    … Expand

El mejor simulador de la historia, desde semifacil hasta el punto de realismo que es una maravilla jugarlo, respecto al fotorealismo es alucinante, si tu pc no tiene tanta potencia los graficos sufren, es el precio de la calidad grafica, se te pasan las horas recorriendo el mundo.

    What Asobo did is unbelievable. They moved the whole flight sim experience to a new level. The genre has been forgotten for too long and we had no better option than to stick with p3d or xplane but in a year or so there will be only one player and it’s gonna be msf!

    Juego de nicho para los amantes de la aviación. Problemas para descargarlo en steam y los requisitos mínimos recomendados son falsos. Te encuentras que para moverlo dignamente necesitas un equipo muy muy potente y repito, dignamente es 1080p y 50 fps. Texturas y gráficos a nivel de suelo horribles si bien ds el pego volandoy.acon los aviones bien recreados. Solo para fanáticos de la aviación

    Such an amazing start of the new era of Flight Simulation!

    I have been flying most flight simulations on the PC since the 80:ies (and real planes since then as well). And this is the most revolutionary sim I have ever tried.

    I have been flying most flight simulations on the PC since the 80:ies (and real planes since then as well). And this is the most revolutionary sim I have ever tried. The graphics are mind blowing, and I have viewed a lot of YT videos the last year so I thought I was prepared. But when I loaded up my home airfield (a small grass strip in a small Swedish town) I was still sitting there with my mouth open. After take off it was like I was flying there for real. Almost everything looked as it should. The beautiful lakes with the sun glittering, the rolling forests with the exact right hue, fields and small dirt roads where they should be. I could navigate VFR exactly like IRL and immediately found the house I grew up in, my old schools, the football yard where we used to play etc. And even though the autogen buildings where not the correct ones they where exactly where they should be. Coming in to land in the circuit it was like flying for real - the same places below you where you turn in on the final and bam - right on the final with the field dead ahead. Looking as it should. And with completely fluid FPS even though it looks like an image from the real world.

    And this is day one. Just imagine in a year with all third party aircraft, mods etc...

    I have done the same routine in FSX/X-Plane/P3D etc over the years and you can't even recognize that it is Sweden you are flying over.    … Expand

    It has been 3 days and I am still trying to install the game: the installation freeze and crash multiple times and still can't play the game (i have 1 To free on my hard disk)... It is ironic that Microsoft can't manage to create a proper installer on Windows.

    Incredible next-gen experience! Never been a flight sim fan, but this game might make me one. The effort put into the game is enormous. However I had a few crashes in New York and Rio despite the fact that my PC is much better than recommended, hope it's gonna be fixed.

    Who thought Microsoft would usher in the next generation of gaming. But they did. You need a pretty powerful PC, but if you do, prepare to lose your mind with its amazingness.

    Simply breathtaking. Its not even next gen yet and it looks and feels so good. Only problem I see is people looking for the game inside the simulator. But if you play it like a sim it's the best flight sim yet.

    This simulator reminds me of Games for Windows Live.

    That score is because I paid for a broken game (YES, GAME, NOT A SIMULATOR).

    The only scenario that this game was stable was in the training activities with Cesna.
    This game are simulating the stability of Boeing 737 Max MCAS.

    A friend recommended the game to me, said it was FTP on the Xbox game pass, so what did i have to lose? He already told me that there was a massive download (92gb) for the game, so that didn't bother me that much. So i went to my closet of nerdy gaming gear, and found my Seitek x52 pro HOTAS. You know, a critically acclaimed piece of hardware used to play specifically these kinds of games.A friend recommended the game to me, said it was FTP on the Xbox game pass, so what did i have to lose? He already told me that there was a massive download (92gb) for the game, so that didn't bother me that much. So i went to my closet of nerdy gaming gear, and found my Seitek x52 pro HOTAS. You know, a critically acclaimed piece of hardware used to play specifically these kinds of games.

    So, the download crashed twice, and there was a bit of bother with getting it to actually finish, but it got there in the end, and hey! the game is B-E-A-utiful! Since i haven't played flight simulator for quite some years, i thought i'd give ye old "learn to fly" a try. Shouldn't be a problem... Right?

    Well. First off, it turned out that there was no default setup for my HOTAS. You know, the one that is literally critically acclaimed and used by thousands of flight simulator players around the world, because it only has a few short comings. But hey, it's a new game, it might be a little buggy, so lets just get that out of the way, and play the game.

    So i went online, not on bing, but google, and found a solution to my problem. Turns out it works if you disconnect the HOTAS, launch the game, and then connect it. So that's what i did, and then i wen't flying. For all of 10 minutes before it started turning my Throttle off randomly. I thought "that was weird" and continued playing, having it happen several times.

    a little later, it happened while i was on the ground. So there was no way to just crash the plain, and restart the mission. Now i was stuck there, because the issue that disabled my throttle, also disabled my keyboard. So now i was stuck in a game, where i couldn't do anything and couldn't exit because it disabled everything control device on my computer, except my mouse.

    EVEN THEN! i thought, hey I'd just restart, new. game. buggy. It happens. Except! It switch my monitors, continuesly disabled my keyboard, even through a forced restart of my computer.

    So, even though i really tried to look past all the bugs, the game is currently in a terribly buggy state, that can effect the rest of your computer, so if you have an x52 pro, which is where i think the bug arised, then for the love of all that is holy, don't play the game with it, it took me the better part of 2 hours to get my keyboard working again, and it's currently 5:32am.

    So, TL:DR QA should have used a bit longer on this product, and you might get to suffer for their lack of diligence.    … Expand

    It’s not just a game, it’s a phenomenon. It lets you explore literally the whole planet – cities, mountains, lakes, rivers, even my house was there – from the cockpits of 20-30 (depends on the version of the game) airplanes. Flying experiences are also great and vary from machine to machine. I’m sure I’ll be returning to MFS for years to come. [11/2020, p.38]

    When all is said and done, Microsoft Flight Simulator in its current state reminds me a lot of Sea of Thieves shortly after launch. The game has a lot of promise and a lot of potential, but it is marred by a number of issues that keep it from really shining. Once the issues have been worked out in six months or a year from now, I fully expect Microsoft Flight Simulator to be a must-have title. Right now, unless you are a hardcore flight sim fanatic, I would pass on buying the premium version and just stick to playing the basic version that's included with GamePass.
